An Evening with David S. Brown at the Midtown Scholar Bookstore

We are excited to announce our continued partnership with Midtown Scholar Bookstore for the upcoming book launch and interview featuring author David S. Brown. NCWM CEO Jeffrey Nichols will sit down with David S. Brown to discuss his latest book, Hell of a Storm: The Battle for Kansas, the End of Compromise, and the Coming of the Civil War.

In this compelling new work, Brown delves into the pivotal events of 1854, when the Kansas-Nebraska Act unexpectedly triggered one of the most significant political miscalculations in American history. This act deepened the divide between North and South, gave rise to the Republican Party, and set the stage for the Civil War.

The event will begin at 7:00 pm, followed by a Q&A session and a book signing.
